I finally received the Convoy C8+ SFT-40 / 6500K / 8A Buck. Before that, I had ordered the 5A Linear SST-40 version from a local store (I gave it to a friend). So, my question is about temperature. I ran a couple of small tests on 100% mode with a Samsung 30Q battery, and after 5 minutes the temperature was extremely high — the flashlight was impossible to hold for more than 5 seconds. Is this normal?
Also, a rough test showed that over those 5 minutes the relative brightness dropped by only 13%, which means the current was close to 8A almost the entire time, but then it suddenly dropped to about 68% of 100%.
I have no way to measure the temperature, however the previous version with the 5A Linear driver was noticeably cooler. What do you think? Is the thermal regulation threshold higher here, or is this normal?
